Learning Settings
Configure learning preferences and defaults for your organization.
The Learning Settings page is your control center for how educational content is organized and accessed across your organization. Here, you can define your course taxonomy and toggle self-enrollment rules for the premium TechClass Course Library.
To access these configurations, navigate to Learning > Settings in the Admin Portal sidebar.
1. Overview
The Overview tab provides a quick launchpad to the two main configuration areas of your learning environment.
Clicking on any of these cards will take you to the corresponding tab:
- Categories: Create and manage the tags used to organize courses in the Explore catalog.
- Course Library Access: Control how learners interact with the pre-built TechClass Course Library.
2. Managing Course Categories
The Categories tab allows you to define the topics and groupings that help learners filter and discover courses in their Explore catalog.
Similar to People Settings, you will notice certain categories (like Compliance or Cybersecurity) are locked as (default). These are standard system categories that cannot be edited or deleted. However, you can create as many custom categories as you need.
Viewing Courses in a Category
Next to each category, you will see a small book icon with a number. This indicates how many courses are currently tagged with this category. Clicking this icon opens a modal displaying the exact courses assigned to it.
Adding a Custom Category
To build a new grouping (e.g., "Sales Training"), click the blue + Add Category button. Type the name and click Create. This tag will immediately be available when building or editing a course.
Editing and Deleting
To rename a custom category, click the Pencil icon. To remove it entirely, click the red Trash Can icon. Because deleting a category strips this tag from all associated courses, you must type the exact name of the category to confirm.
3. Course Library Access
TechClass comes with an expert-built Course Library containing interactive courses across AI, compliance, productivity, and more. The Course Library Access tab allows you to define your organization's philosophy on how employees consume this content.
The library has two tiers, and these settings govern Essentials courses only. Skills courses are always listed for learners, whichever option you choose.
You have two options:
- Open Library: This encourages a self-directed learning culture. All Essentials courses in the TechClass Course Library will appear in the Learner Portal's "Explore" tab, allowing employees to browse and self-enroll in whatever interests them.
- Admin-Assigned Only: This creates a strictly guided learning environment. Essentials courses in the Course Library are hidden from the Explore tab. Learners will only see these courses if an Administrator or Group Lead manually assigns them.
Select your preferred option and click Save.
